Zaika is a whole new style of Indian restaurant. Authentic yet innovative, with a menu that honors tradition while reinventing it. Elegant and comfortable with a sumptuous decor awash in the hues of India's signature spices. It is very contemporary and traditional with a vibrant bar where sophistication meshes seamlessly with style. Zaika has the energy like Mooresville and the passion of...

Zaika Indian Cuisine

I went to Zaika the other day and the food was great! It is the first Indian restaurant that I have liked in Mooresville. I especially like the traditional and contemporary atmosphere of the restaurant

On our way to the Subaru Dealer to pick up our Forester (new battery) we went to lunch at Zaika Indian Cuisine. We have been there before and this time used a "Groupon" for our meal. We again had terrific service and excellent food. I am surprised at the bad reviews because the two times we have gone, we have...

We stopped by last night for dinner and had a wonderful meal. We ordered Lamb Saag, Butter Chicken and Matar Paneer, with Garlic Naan. We order spicy level 5 which had a wonderful kick to it but wasn't so overpowering that you couldn't enjoy it. My son did say maybe level 4 next time though. I loved it! We definitely...

Ok so the first thing i hated about this restaurant was cleanliness. Second thing i didnt liked was service, well did i mentioned poor service?? And the worst thing was they charged $3 for pickle..dude u spend $4 and u get a new bottle of it..who charges for pickels??????????????not going any

We ordered the Sunday noon buffet. Many items were not identified. Several things were luke warm, several things were nasty tasting. Didn't feel like we got our money's worth. Server was not friendly, barely spoke to us. Bill was incorrect as well. On top of that, my husband became ill for THREE DAYS after eating there. NEVER will return.

I always use my iPhone to search for restaurants on the road; yesterday was no exception. We found Zaika in Mooresville, NC and stopped there for lunch. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated. Our server was a sweet woman who answered my many questions about the food. We both had the buffet. It was excellent - including the...

the restaurant is lovely, clean and pleasant. I wish they spent a little more time and money on the bathroom, but ok.
The food is consistently delicious. Each dish has delicate spices and excellent quality. I have eaten most of the menu over the many times and love everything. Spice is spicy there, so recognize that when you order. However...

I visited Zaika on Saturday evening. I found the ambience very nice and staff courteous. Best of all is food. They were really quick in serving the orders. And the taste was fabulous. We opt for a maharani combo, which includes appetizer, two vegetarian entries, Naan, rice and dessert, for two. I did not have such a tasty Indian food...

This is the best Indian restaurant I've eaten at for years. Since the House of India in St. Louis, MO. I had the lunch buffet on my way out of town (Charlotte, NC) heading North of I-77. There is another Indian Restaurant about one block away called Mint. I rated Mint 4-stars. In my opinion the food was not as...

This was excellent Indian food. The service was superb and everything was cooked the way we requested. The wait staff was attentive to us and allowed us to dine. The owners had their little girl there and it was charming and old world to see the family interact. Elegant surroundings.

My friend and I visited this little gem hidden in a shopping plaza for dinner. The décor is very nice and the ambiance was also fun and relaxing. The waitress we had was amazing. She was quite pleasant and never missed a beat.
The food - I had the matar paneer and it was excellent. My friend had some chicken...

Mouth-watering Tandoori chicken served on a sizzler! I've had lots of Indian food in quite a lot of restaurants here, but none could deliver this authentic, succulent Tandoori chicken. This alone was worthy of a 20-mile travel. All food that I tried here was top-notch, be it the Rogan Josh or Malai Chicken or the Palak Mushroom. Waitstaff is very...

I was in town on business and hungry for Indian and was excited to find this great place. I don't get enough Indian food living in a rural town, so I ordered two favorite dishes; the malai kofta and palak paneer. Thankfully, I was asked what level of spiciness I wanted and I ordered mild. Both dishes and garlic naan...

It was an Awsome experience... i have been missing home and i felt like i am back in india....it reminded me of good old dhaba .... the bread melts in your mouth and all the curries felt like they are just made perfect to. tickle your tongue.... rogan ghosh was the best part of my meal ... the meat was cooked to perfection and just melts in our mouth .. the sauce had the perfect balance of...

I have to say that I've eaten at Zaika in Mooresvile, NC at least 10 times. It has been very consistent with the quality of food and is always a good choice when in the mood for a little Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken.

This is the best Indian restaurant in the mooresville nc area! The food was amazing and you could taste all the fresh flavors and spice. Lunch buffet was authentic, delicious and fresh! The décor was really nice and set a nice intimate yet not overly formal tone. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was sent out quickly....loved the chai tea too. This is a true diamond and the...

Fantastic

Loved Zaika Indian Cuisine. The place is beautiful and elegant. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The food is outstanding. Perfect amount of spice and cooked to perfection. Love it, love it, love it.

The food was good. The only negative thing I can say is; I felt as if were given a guilt trip because we didn't order an appetizer. I don't drink yet the server kept asking if I would like to try a red wine or an Indian wine. other than that. I liked the atmosphere and the food!

Love the spicy Indian food served at this restaurant, particularly the items in the "Avant Garde" menu which are unique creations of the chef / owner at the restaurant. Definitely worth a try if only for the Avant Garde offerings!

The management of Zaika Indian Cuisine, Mooresville, NC has changed since July 20, 2013 - a full 2 months after this review was added. The new management has an entirely new team including the chef, the serving staff and the Restaurant Manager. The menu is also not the same and a lot of new dishes have been added. They have also created a new website - www.ZaikaIndianCuisineNC.com - of which I...

My husband and I moved to Mooresville from the Chapel Hill area, where there are many restaurants where we enjoyed authentic Indian cuisine. Zaika is some of the best Indian food we've ever had. We both have tried several things on the menu and are never disappointed. Service is great, they've change in ownership within the past month or so....

My wife and I have eaten at all the Indian restaurants in Charlotte and one or two in particular for the last 13 years. We had just found out about Zaika and were very happy with our find.
They are under new management as of mid July and have only been in existence since beginning 2013.

This restaurant is a short drive from Cornelius, NC and this was our first visit. The Indian gentleman who took our order said he was the owner and very very polite. The decor was simple but pleasing and the seating capacity ample.
We did a quick work with our orders and it was served nearly as fast. The food was...

I have mixed feelings about this restaurant. When we first walked in, I noticed the restaurant was very clean and was promptly greeted and seated and drink orders were taken. There were only two other customers even during dinner hours. The waiter seemed very polite, but a bit awkward or perhaps just new (this behavior continued throughout the meal). We ordered appetizer and it tasted more like...

First and Last Experience

I picked up lunch from this restaurant today and am wholly unimpressed. $26.00 for two vegetarian take-out bowls. The curry tasted like barely spiced, bland vegetable stew. Disappointing to say the least, considering the high praise bestowed upon the chef as I prepared to leave. Needless to say, between the outrageous lunch price and mediocre food I won't be back. I'll stick with Mint just up...

We have been a couple of times for both lunch and dinner. The lunch buffet is pretty good with decent choices for a decent price. Dinner on the other hand is pretty expensive. Overall the food is good, but the service is terrible. Refills are few and far between. On our dinner visit it took over 20 minutes to pay...

We were visiting the Memory Lane Museum and spotted the sign for this restaurant just before the museum. They do very tasty vegetable samosas, delicious coconut shrimp curry (I asked for medium spicy and it was a good level of spiciness for the British palette) and great navrattan (vegetable) korma. The naan bread and mango lassi were delicious too. The...

I am sitting in this restaurant, it looks nice and clean. Received immediate service. I for some reason am three only one in here. I am from Philly, I am not Indian but love the food. I love to try new spots. I ordered Channa masala garlic Nan and a mango lasse. I am very impressed. I could have asked for it to be a little more spicy. The food here is very good. If you are considering it, I...

My son and I visited for the first time last night. I will be back to give them a second chance. The food was above average but they need to work on their service. Our server had only been there a few days and the other server was engulfed by the five occupied tables. Be patient if you go and give yourself time to relax and enjoy. I do not think you will be disappointed. The naan bread was also...

first time there

The naan with potato had no flavor and no visible or flavorful potato...The main food was ok but the service was horrible...I did not see my waiter and he did not try to help us...I had to get up and go find someone so that I could pay and leave.

Best in Mooresville

The reason that the buffet is the best is that it has taste. Most buffets anywhere, tend to tone down the spices as many of the patrons are workers and like it more bland. Zaika doesn't make bland food. The flavor and preparation is beyond others in N. Mecklenburg. Sangum's in Cornelius is next best, but their food tends to be bland.

Zaika is Great

I went to Zaika yesterday and it was the grand opening. The food was authentic and the service was fantastic. It is the best Indian food I have eaten in Mooresville and I would highly recommend this restaurant .
